Marc Zare Well, my first impression was completely wrong. I was afraid I was getting forgotten but I misunderstood..they were actually being very professional and giving me time to decide on a life changing procedure. When Ben and I talked he made it clear that this is a decision "I" have to make and one that I should not be pressured into. "I" will have to make the life change not him. Wow! Thank you SOOOOOOOO much, Ben, you were right. When you said that I looked at all this completely different. The change is not for anyone but me, and if I am not committed to it 100% "I" am not ready.

Well, I am ready now and I hope to have surgery by the end of September 2010.

Thank you, Ben and Dr. Zare, for providing not just a professional office but one that seems to really understand what the patient needs from the beginning. Since my "Let's Do It" decision Ben has been very supportive and helpful in everything I have needed.

My first assumption of the office was soooo wrong. I am glad I got a chance for second impression. Dana Merritt

OLD HABITS

posted 5/15/11 4:16 pm

7 months out and noticing I am getting into old habits. I am getting stressed, bored, lonely, etc. and my usual behavor is to sit and munch . I don't even really want to eat or even realize I ate. But, someone on the message board made a very good point... if I don't bring home the munch food .... it won't be here for me to eat. It is in my control. I need to acknowledge it out loud. I need to take back my control. Wish me luck!

Good Luck! I've gotta quit buying oatmeal cookies from Costco. I was always into chocolate chip cookies pre-surgery. Now I just love Oatmeal raisin. Got any WLS friendly recipes?

Thanks, Nita. I really do not have any WLS recipes but I need to try to find some. My addiction these days has been Lays Crisps in the can... I think I need to go to an Overeaters Announamous meeting. LOL
